Drop Box

A drop box is located on the front of the City Office Building at 301 S. Center Street. Only checks and money orders can be paid through the drop box. Do not deposit cash in the drop box. Payments will not be processed until the next business day.

Drive Through

The drive through is available M-F, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. for customers who have their bill and wish to make a payment. If you need assistance with your account number or your balance due, you must come in to the lobby. Debit and credit card payments may not be taken through the drive through.

Billing Cycles

The City is divided into 3 separate billing zones. Where the property is located determines if your bill is produced around the 10th, 20th or 30th of the month. The City cannot change your due date. All bills are due and payable upon receipt and are past due 21 days from the bill date. Past due bills incur a late payment penalty of $5.00 or 5%, whichever is greater.

E-Billing

Instead of receiving a paper bill, Statesville Utility customers can receive an email notifying them that their utility bill is ready. E-billing helps avoid mailing delays, gives you one less piece of mail to sort through, helps keep up with your bill (you always know where it is) and lets you do your part for the environment by saving trees, energy and resources. To sign-up, look at the green box on the front of your monthly utility bill. Follow the directions in the box to register for E-billing.

Meter Reading

Electric and water meters are read by the City every month. Each meter will be read monthly unless the meter is inaccessible because of an obstruction or unsafe condition. It is the customer’s responsibility to keep the meter accessible. If the meter cannot be accessed, the consumption will be estimated. Estimated consumptions may be lower or higher than past actual consumptions. Meter readings are cumulative, so that an actual reading will correct any past over or under estimations.

Returned Checks

A $25 fee is assessed for each returned check. Once 2 checks have been returned on your account within any 12 month period, the City will only accept cash, certified check, money order or debit card for payment during the next 12 months. Returned checks containing reconnect fees or extension fees will result in immediate utility disconnection.
